Recovering from injury and managing medical bills was already a challenge. The financial pressure that followed, along with unexpected business setbacks, made things even harder — but the biggest challenge has been handling the ongoing visa fees and uncertainty, all while trying to hold on to the life I’ve built here.
It’s been a lot to carry, all at once, and at times it feels like it’s pressing right on my heart.

Hello beautiful friends, family and extended soul tribe,
I’m writing this with a vulnerable heart, but also with deep trust in the power of community and love.
As some of you already know, the past year has been one of the hardest chapters in my life.
I broke my shoulder — something that deeply affected me, not just physically, but emotionally and financially.
For someone whose entire life is built around creating with her hands, performing and crafting beauty out of soul and crafts… it was like the world stopped. Suddenly, I couldn't work, couldn’t create, couldn’t earn — everything froze.
I started Gypsy Goddess Creations four years ago with nothing but passion and a dream. I’ve poured every ounce of myself into this handmade business, into every creation, every design, every performance.
It hasn’t been easy, but I kept going. Even while healing, I kept showing up — dancing, creating, moving through pain — just to survive and keep my little handmade business alive.
But the weight didn’t stop there.
I haven’t been able to see my family back home in over 7 years while I wait for my immigration appeal to be resolved.
Due to a visa restriction, I am currently subject to a travel ban that prevents me from leaving the country, as doing so would result in being barred from re-entry for three years.
It’s not a choice — How do you make a choice when your heart is split between two homes?
I’ve had to seek legal assistance to fight for my right to stay in this country, which I now call home. The legal costs have been overwhelming, and the emotional toll of being separated from my loved ones for so long, without knowing when it will end, has been incredibly heavy.
After some deep contemplation and willingness in my heart… I’ve finally developed the courage to do something I was so afraid to do: I’m loudly asking for help.
So here I am, asking for help, in the only way I know how.
I am creating a space that celebrates everything I love: creativity, connection, music, art, soul and... each and every one of you.
That’s how the Gypsy Goddess Fundraiser: Temple of Dreams was born.

Art Exhibition – Featuring Daisy Leming art and Gypsy Goddess's latest headpiece creations, all hand-crafted and dreamed into reality.
Pop-Up Shop – All Gypsy Goddess clothing available with 20% off, just for this day.
Raffle Giveaways – Beautiful prizes to win on the day, with proceeds going towards the cause.
Very Special Performances – Soulful, magical moments you won’t forget with All The Lights Entertainment and Gypsy Goddess & Friends.
Paella Feast – Made with Spanish love and served until it’s all gone (so come early!).
This is more than a fundraiser.
It’s a day for community, for expression, for joy.
A day to come together and support something real, something heartfelt, something handmade with love.
This day is about sharing the essence of Gypsy Goddess — not just the clothing or the art, but the feeling behind it all: freedom, love, peace and the magic of collaboration and unity between us all.
If you’ve ever been touched by my art…
If you've ever felt drawn to my creations, danced beside me, or felt the spark of what I try to share through my work…
If you feel inspired to help me remain here.
To give my business a chance and to give me a chance to keep fighting for my life in Australia...
Then I ask from the bottom of my heart:
Please come.
Please support.
Please spend this Sunday with me.
Come feel the magic.
Come dance with me.
Come help make this dream come true — not just for me, but for everything I still want to create, share, and give back to this beautiful country that I so deeply wish to call home.
If you can’t attend in person but would still like to support, any contribution toward the financial costs of my visa and legal assistance to help secure my stay in Australia would mean the world to me.
